Tacloban has risen from the ashes of recent natural disasters with zest for life. Boutique hotels and artisan bars line the streets ready to welcome travellers while Rizal Avenue remains the number one site for visiting foodies. Also popular with tourists is the Sto. Nino Shrine—a quirky museum of international antique and artefacts, and the MacArthur Landing Memorial commemorating the liberation of the Philippines from the Japanese.
